This display shelve is really pretty, nice height. Needed something in an empty corner to put pictures and nick-knacks on. Easy to assemble. Would not put anything to heavy on this stand and it would work best on a solid surface, seems sturdy on my low pile carpet. If you had little children or kitty cats who like to climb or grab I would find a way to secure it to the wall. Only issue was one of the shelves (bottom one) was scratched and finish was removed, used one of my furniture finish pens and covered it up, not an issue so low on the shelve.
